摘要

Total trocleopateral prosthesis of the knee, characterized by comprising, in essence, a trochlea element (11), in the form of segment sector of tubular torus and intended to be embedded instead of the damaged intercondylar trochlea (6), to present to the ball joint (5) a toric support surface whose longitudinal section is convex, while the cross section is concave; the sector extends in an arc of circle (13) comprised between 60º and 190º, while the segment is asymmetric with respect to the equatorial plane (12) of the bull, so that one of its edges is further away than the other of this equatorial plane (12), and this edge of the segment corresponds to the lateral edge of the trochlea (6), while its opposite edge (11b) corresponds to the medial border of the trochlea (6).
